There is a good, fairly recent book (1994) by N. Lampkin and S. Padel on
'The Economics of Organic Farming: An International Perspective.' 480 pp
(HB) ISBN 85198-911-X. Price US$100.00. that may fit the bill.
Coincidentally, I met both authors last week at a conference in Ancona,
Italy, that discussed 'Resource use in organic farming'. The proceedings
will be published later this year (?). Enquiries about the proceedings may
be directed to Dr. Juan Isart (e-mail: leaam@cid.csic.es), the coordinator
of ENOF (European Network for Organic Farming). The ENOF home page is at
http://www.cid.csic.es/enof

The book can be ordered from:

Oxford University Press,

Can anyone suggest resources that discuss the cost of conventional
agriculture compared to that of alternative/sustainable agriculture. I'm
interested in all costs - social, environmental, etc. I know that natural
resource economics theory continues to develop and can address
conventional agricultural and costs to the environment, but I'm looking
for more.
